﻿Line dances are hundreds of years old and is thought to have developed in America from the CONTRA DANCE a partnered dance in which couples dance in two facing lines (also known as New England folk dance). Contra dance was influenced by the English and French folk dances that had been brought over to the USA from Europe. During the 1960’s to 1980’s the contra dance, transformed into the LINE DANCE, the HUSTLE was one of the most popular CHOREOGRAPHED line dances. In 1992, “Achy Breaky Heart” (sung by Billy Ray Cyrus as you met in the starter activity), with a dance choreographed by Melanie Greenwood, drew international attention to American line dance. This song also linked line dancing with COUNTRY AND WESTERN music, so that the two became synonymous around the world. ﻿
